While I really like that particular design, the color just doesn't do it for me....it almost looks like the wheels are fully coated with brake dust.
I know Volk offers these in white and in custom colors. White might have looked a little 'retro', but how about a machined/satin aluminum finish??
Glad to see someone getting off the beaten path, so to speak. Nice choice, Timpo, no one can say you're just another sheep.

nope, that is not a photoshop.
the car is actually for sale.
the price is 1,980,000 yen (approx $18,000 or so)
the car has only 63,000kms (approx 39,375 miles)

Volk Racing will make custom wheels too. For example, if you want a center bolt wheel, they will make one.

Ray's TE37s are not normally made in the Corvette's 5x120.65 bolt pattern. There is a 17x8" version made in 5x120.65 that you can buy directly from Ray's, but the wheels shown in the picture above most likely came from West Corvette in Japan. http://www.westcorvette.co.jp/newc4.html
West has the TE37's specially made for them by Ray's with the Corvette's bolt pattern. According to their website, they are the only supplier of these wheels, however Advance Auto in Japan has been selling them in a few sizes too for a while (mainly aimed at the Camaro with narrower sizes). http://www.advanceauto.jp/4thTE37.htm. TE37's are a beautiful, lightweight, forged wheel worth the cost. I have 18x9.5" and 18x10.5" on my car that weigh ~17 and ~18lbs each, respectively.
